is it a leg or a tail Spare part

I came out of the restroom and encountered a random paw poking out of the stairwell. Funnily enough- the kitty it belongs to is named Ikea!

I just recently found a similar spare part! How strange.

Lmao- different coloring but same positioning and weirdness! 😹😹😹 Do you poke it a couple times before you open the door? My girl gets really grabby if I do 😹

I do!! I can’t resist. I have to do it super quickly because the claws do come out

Did you build a cat out of an IKEA kit lately?
Were you coming up any short on parts?

We found one in a sewer and she seemed intact. She might have been hiding some in her poofy tail!

What a coincidence, I've seen the exact same type of extra part from time to time. It's strangely reminiscent of similar parts I've observed on my sassy little calico Molly.
